Work on this year\u2019s event began last September, concluding early this year. It\u2019s a roughly 150-day build, leaning on a peak crew of 120 to 140 workers for six to eight weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-events-and-attractions \">The structure wraps around the 16th hole and measures a quarter of a million square feet. The completely reusable kit of parts includes modular hospitality structures, grandstand seating, premium suites and frameless glass railings. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-events-and-attractions \">The structure was redesigned for the 2026 tournament, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/Articles\/2025\/10\/01\/wm-phoenix-open-upgrading-its-famed-16th-hole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/Articles\/2025\/10\/01\/wm-phoenix-open-upgrading-its-famed-16th-hole\/\">debut of the Pin Hi Club<\/a>, which grew one portion of the coliseum to four stories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-events-and-attractions \">Total capacity at the 16th hole is roughly 14,000, about 3,700 of which are general admission. It\u2019s a major revenue driver for the event, delivered by one of the pro golf world\u2019s leading providers of temporary structures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-events-and-attractions \"><b>Noteworthy:<\/b> This year\u2019s new 16th hole design cut the number of vertical supports in half, improving sightlines.
